In the Longxiang Palace of the Qinglong Kingdom Palace.
Eunuch Wang frowned as he listened to the fast and slow beats outside. He turned to look at Huang Zai, who was still standing in front of the window, hesitating whether to ask for a reminder or not.
The emperor is so strange tomorrow. He has been standing motionless in front of the window since he had dinner. It has been almost three hours. He has not even reviewed the memorials sent by the ministers. Such an emperor has already Long time no see.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Gonggong stepped forward lightly, stood behind Huangfu Cang, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's already the fourth watch, it's time to rest."
When Huangfu Cang heard this, he didn't react at all. He still looked out the window at the bright moon that was about to become round.
If the prince doesn't get a response, he can call out again: "The emperor is here... "
"Huh?" Huangfu Cang finally turned around and looked at Wang Gonggong, "Fu De'an, are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it's already the fourth watch, it's time to rest."
"I'm not sleepy." Huangfu Cang shook his head and turned to look out the window again.
It’s already the fourth watch, and I’m not sleepy. By the time of five o'clock, I have to go to court in the morning. Wang Gonggong followed Huangfu Cang's gaze and looked out the window. He found that there was nothing strange outside the window, and Xindong was very puzzled.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about anything?" Apart from that reason, he couldn't think of anything else. Just like when Queen Huiyuan died and Prince Diandong got married, the emperor stayed up all night and looked at the moon like that now.
Huangfu Cang didn't answer, and still looked at the bright moon outside the window, but his black eyes flashed.
After a long time, just when Wang Gonggong thought Huangfu Cang would not answer, Huangfu Cang spoke.
"They have returned to Beijing." Huangfu Cang's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was answering the prince's words.
them? As for the emperor, he didn't know what he was talking about, and Wang Gonggong also guessed who he was talking about, because the reason why the emperor was so abnormal was...
"Has Prince Diandong returned to the capital?" Wang Gonggong's voice trembled slightly. The prince in the palace was the prince he had watched growing up, the prince he loved the most and respected the most.
"Che'er... he's finally back." The voice was still very soft, so soft that it made people feel distressed.
The prince's eyes already felt wet. The emperor had been waiting for so many years and finally waited for the day when Prince Diandong returned.
How long has it been since he saw Che'er? It's been sixteen years! Huangfu Cang looked up at the bright moon in the sky again. In a few hours, he would be able to see him!
Early next month.
Huangfu Che and Duanmuxue got up early, washed themselves up, and checked again the gifts they had brought to Huangfu Cang and others.
Xuanyuan Mo and Duan Muxi also got up very early. After breakfast, the four of them walked with Luan Jia all the way to the palace.
The luxurious and majestic Fengyi Luanjia attracted the people of Qinglong Kingdom’s Kyoto to come and watch.
"Then Wei Eun's people are traveling, it's such a big pomp and a luxurious carriage." A middle-aged man asked the man in gray next to him, holding a birdcage on his legs.
"Then I can't even tell? Then it's not the Queen of Suzaku's Luanjia! Didn't I see that the entire honor guard is a woman?" The man in gray glanced at the middle-aged man and said.
Hearing what the man in gray said, the middle-aged man suddenly realized: "Oh! What's strange about what he said is that women are not wearing military uniforms."
The man in gray clothes looked at his stunned look and joked: "What? Shouldn't I go to Yunxiang Pavilion all day long? Then wouldn't it be impossible to tell the difference between men and women?"
The middle-aged man didn't seem to have heard the man in gray's teasing. He bumped the man in gray's arm and said, "Did the Prince's Prince come back with him that time?"
"Of course, the emperor is here to pray for his sixtieth birthday. Why doesn't the Prince's Palace Master come back to celebrate the emperor's birthday?" The man in gray seemed to have thought of something and said: "Last night he wanted to drink at the Yellow Crane Tower, but... The female soldiers stopped me and told me that the Yellow Crane Tower had been bought by their empress."
"Why did the empress buy the Yellow Crane Tower?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion after hearing this.
"He doesn't know that very well. Bu Nao should be related to Prince Ning."
"Prince Ning?" The middle-aged man was even more confused, but also more interested.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was in high spirits, the man in gray clothes spoke even more enthusiastically, "He heard those people surrounding the Yellow Crane Tower say that the female emperor almost knocked Prince Ning out of control for denying our prince. Later, Ning Wang Dong knelt down and begged for mercy, and the empress let him go. At first, Prince Ning and his guards were sent back by the empress. However, the empress and the others stayed in the Yellow Crane Tower."
"If that is not true, then Prince Ning will be so embarrassed."
"Isn't it true? Now most people in the capital know about it."
Not long after Luan Jia left, he stopped in Donglai.
Duanmu Xuedai, who was walking behind Luan Jia, frowned slightly and asked in a loud voice: "Why stop in the east?"
Feng Er, who was outside Luan Jia, heard the question and immediately bowed and replied, "It seems like someone is blocking the way."
Hearing this, Duanmuxue glanced at Huangfu Che beside her, and then ordered Feng Er, "Go and see if anyone is blocking the way."
"No." Feng Er took the order and went to inquire.
In an equally luxurious carriage behind Luan Jia, Duan Muxi also sent Feng Wu to inquire.
After a while, Feng Er returned to Luan Jia.
"Back to Bidong, there are four members of Fu's family blocking the way. They said that their family received favors from Fenghou Diandong back then. They know that Diandong will return to the palace tomorrow, so they came here to express their gratitude."
Hearing this, Duanmuxue turned to look at Huangfu Che again.
Huangfu Che also frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Duanmuxue and said, "Let him go east and have a look."
Duanmuxue glanced at Huangfu Che worriedly and said, "Be careful."
Huangfu Che nodded and came to Luanjia from the east.
The onlookers saw a man in red who was incompatible with the luxurious car walking out of the car.
The man in red's extraordinary grace, calm temperament, and stunning appearance all impressed everyone.
"No, no to the east of the Prince's Palace." Someone in the crowd came back to their senses and shouted.
"Prince Diandong is finally back." Someone had already started to burst into tears.
"Greetings to the Prince." I don't know who among the crowd was the first to kneel towards Huangfu Che. Then they knelt down one after another.
For a time, the four words "Prince Palace East" resounded in the air throughout Kyoto.
At this time, Huangfu Che's heart was filled with confusion. The wrong title of "Prince Diandong" has passed for him, but the posthumous title still sounds to him, but it seems to have always been in his heart.
Duanmuxue, who was with Luan Jia at this time, also felt very complicated. The people there didn't like and respect him that much, which made her feel even more guilty.
While Huangfu Che asked the people to get up, he walked to Luan Jia and saw a family of four who were blocking Luan Jia. The one in front was an old man in his fifties or sixties, the other in the back was a middle-aged couple, and the one in front was Fu. juvenile. After carefully looking at the faces of the Dong group, he recognized the old man in the front.
"Yu Captou?"
The old man suddenly raised his head when he heard the voice. When he saw Huangfu Che's stunning appearance, he immediately burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Prince Dian Dong, I finally see you."
"Get up first and then talk." Although Huangfu Che didn't know why Hong and the others were looking for him, he couldn't bear to see someone of that age kneeling on the ground.
The old man's face was full of tears and he shook his head and said: "Prince Diandong, you are their family's great benefactor, please accept their family's worship."
After the old man finished speaking, he asked to kowtow, but was supported by Huangfu Che, "Yu Captou, what did I do then? Those things are in the past, what do you want to do now?"
The old man grabbed Huangfu Che's leg and said, "Those things may be trivial to you, the Prince, but to their family, they are a kindness that will never be forgotten in a lifetime."
The old man insisted on kowtowing as he spoke. Just when Huangfu Che was in trouble, the middle-aged man's voice came to his ears.
"Prince Diandong, please accept their thanks. His father is seriously ill and will die soon. His greatest wish in his life is to see you again and thank you in person. I will have mercy on you tomorrow, Finally let them see you again, and you will fulfill his original wish."
Huangfu Che paused when he heard this, glanced at the sallow-faced old man, felt slightly sad, and slowly let go of his leg.
When the old man and his family saw this, they immediately kowtowed to Huangfu Che three times with "bang", "bang" and "bang".
After Huangfu Che returned to Luanjia again, his heart could not calm down for a long time.
At that time, Yu Sanfu was the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, and his wife Zhao was very beautiful. One day, Mrs. Zhao went to Jingzhao Mansion to look for Yu San, but the newly arrived Jingzhao Yin Hong Wentian noticed and robbed her. In order to protect Qinghong, Zhao committed suicide by hanging from a beam. Yu San was devastated and had no way to seek help. In the end, she was framed by Hong Wentian and imprisoned. Huangfu Che found out the truth, killed Hong Wentian, and released Yu San.
The events of that year seem to be vivid in my mind, but they are no longer the same things and people.
Feeling his legs warm, Huangfu Che turned to look at Duanmuxue, who had a worried look on his face. A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he stretched out his legs to hold Duanmuxue tightly in his arms.
The past is over after all, he doesn't want to think about it anymore, he just wants to be in love with the person in his arms for the rest of his life.
The Luan chariot slowly headed towards the palace again, and the people along the way shouted "Prince's Palace East". There were many people who had received favors from Huangfu Che and those who admired and respected Huangfu Che. They all knelt on the street and kowtowed to the Luan chariot.
Soon, the car drove to the gate of the palace.
The prince and his father-in-law, who had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, immediately came forward when they saw the carriage and said respectfully: "The Emperor has authorized the Queen's carriage to drive into the palace."
Huangfu Che was a little excited when he heard the familiar voice. He opened the bead curtain. When he saw the familiar figure, he couldn't help but call: "Eunuch Wang."
Hearing this, the prince suddenly raised his head. When he saw Huangfu Che's almost unchanged face, his nose felt sore. He knelt down and kowtowed: "East of the Prince's Palace."
Upon seeing this, Huangfu Che immediately jumped into his dongluan, helped the prince up and said, "No need to be polite."
The prince stood up tremblingly and said with some choking: "Prince's Palace East, I finally see you again. I'm wrong. Prince's Palace East, please follow my slave to Longxing Palace, the Emperor is waiting for you!" Did the emperor stay up all night yesterday? He kept thinking about the prince's palace!"
Huangfu Che's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this, nodded, and entered Luan Jia again.
In front of Longxing Palace, Huangfu Che's legs were sweating nervously. In the Longxing Palace, Huangfu Cang was waiting nervously.
